Hello!

Before proceeding with discourse installation, I saw that there are updates found.

So, I decided to update by following your suggestions: [Manually update Discourse and Docker image to latest](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-do-i-manually-update-discourse-and-docker-image-to-latest/23325)

I ran these commands:

```plaintext
 apt-get update
 apt-get dist-upgrade

```

But During I update, I got this,

 ![08_grub-error](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/f/5/f55e369ca3bd66b980e00a0f56ae0f332371fc52.png)

Please tell me what should I choose.

Note: I’m not a pro in linux, and I’m on a custom ubuntu server from Hetzner.

It’s really a question for your hosting provider. Any answer will likely be fine. If not, and the server went by, you just started, so you crank up another server and choose the other answer.

The top option is fine.

Thanks for the quick response. You mean proceed with **install package maintainer’s version**?
